Can the Epic Games Launcher detect previously installed games?

The Epic Games Launcher does not currently support detecting previously installed game files.

This feature is exclusively available on the Epic Games Launcher Early Preview. For more information, visit Can the Epic Games Launcher Early Preview detect previously installed games?

If you've removed the launcher or reinstalled Windows, your games will need to be reinstalled through the Library tab in the launcher.

While there are community-suggested workarounds, they are not officially supported and may not work reliably across all games.
